Rose

“A rose by any other name
would smell as sweet”
But not as sweet as her
She is sweetness personified
She is the embodiment of love
Her perfect rose pink personality
A gift to the world
She is a learner
She is a teacher
She is a keeper of codes
She is a bearer of light
She is as soft as silk
She is proud and passionate
She holds secrets well
She will listen deeply
To the stirrings of your soul
Her patience knows no bounds
Her soul sings sweetly
Like a beautiful bird
She is quiet and deep
She is a survivor
She has an underestimated strength
She loves fiercely
She protects her own
She is a nurturer
She is a lover
She sings lullabies to the world
Cradling it in her arms
Her voice softly guiding it to sleep
Ready to awaken to a new day
Fresh and bright as the sunrise
She beams her bright light
Into everyone she meets
Not even aware of her power
To transform with a snap of her fingers
She clears the air of hatred
She rings the bell of freedom
She advocates for the needy
She champions for the weary
She comforts the casualties
She reckons with the reckless
Her talents are tremendous
But she softly shows them
They can easily be missed
If one does not look closely
If one does not listen carefully
Take a second look
Hold your ear close
Then you will see her fully
Then you will hear her clearly
A gentle force of nature
Changing the world
One mind at a time
Every day of her life

She is a seductress
She is a witch
She is a siren
She is a song
She is full of fire
She is cool as ice
She is a protector
She is a fighter
She stands for innocence
She holds the light
She breaks through barriers
She stands up for what is right
She puts up a shield
But is tender inside
Her heart is pure gold
Her blood runs pure white
She breathes in the dawn
She breathes out the night
Her eyes hold infinity
Her lips speak the truth
Her ears hear the darkness
Her hands touch the cosmos
The stars call her name
The moon draws her in
The sun shines through her skin
The world is her oyster
She claims what is hers
No one may trespass
No one shall harm
Her power protects her
And all she holds dear
The world will whisper
When it is time
She will step forward
The past will unwind
The present will ignite
The future will unfold
She is timeless
She is forever
She is the universe
She is all.

The Knowing

Knowing
God showing
The way
The path to follow
Unseen by others
Wait and watch
For signs to help them
Find their own way
Light a lamp
To brighten the path
Look deep inside
To uncover the truth
The answers are there
Be still and listen
For the messages
Transmitted from above
With love
To be received and recalled
To bring wisdom and hope
Love and light
From God and his angels
I accept this duty
As a blessing
A beautiful gift
To share with the world

I see the signs and symbols
I know the truth and mysteries
I feel the answers as they come
I touch the world
With my knowing and seeing
My sight and knowledge
Open for all to receive
Believe

Spiritual Update: Meditation and Angels

I haven't been writing on this blog in a while. I have been continuing to grow in my spiritual practices. I have continued my meditation and yoga workshops and since last Fall (2014) our meditation group has been meeting very regularly, almost weekly lately. It is wonderful. It is more than meditation. We meditate and then share in a circle what our experiences were and our leader helps us to heal and release further during the share. So it is really a holistic energy support group. It is my spiritual therapy group. It is wonderful to share this with others of like mind and spirit. It has helped me tremendously. I have changed and grown so much in the last couple of years. I was reading my posts from the Fall and Winter of 2013 and it is amazing how much insight I had at that time that is coming to me again but from a different place now. The seasons bring similar insights I find. The Fall and Winter are often my most deep insights. The summer inspires me to enjoy nature, but Fall and Winter are times of deep introspection. It is wonderful to have these periods that are unique.

I have rediscovered the Angels again recently. They have always been with me, but I had to take a break from fully connecting to them as I grew in other areas. I have been doing my own Angel Oracle and Tarot card readings and even did some for close friends. One reading last weekend was very intense and profound, a day after I had a huge breakthrough at a meditation. I was able to fully receive all the returns of positive energy and love that I had ever given out, that I was never able to accept into my heart before. I am also learning to keep more inside myself instead of giving over myself too easily and fully to others, when they are doing well on their own spiritual journey. I am finding when it is right and the best way to help others.

It feels great to give to others, but it is coming more from my heart and true self and in a more grounded way. So I don't lose myself in giving to others. I gain more wisdom and peace instead.

I also am using crystals and stones again also, but in a more moderate way. I found some amazing bracelets called Soul Journey and I was inspired to give them to all the women in my meditation group, choosing just the right ones for each of them, and keeping a few for myself. I also am giving them to close friends who I think would benefit from them. I can feel the healing power of them. Also, I gave the men a special bag of crystals for each of them. I also shared some crystals with my friend and her daughter that came last weekend. One special larger crystal in particular I gave to them, which is one that connects to the angels. I knew that they needed it. I was called to give it away. It felt right. It is great to share what I have when it is the right time and place. This Christmas I am giving so much to others. I gain love and peace in return. I am allowing others to give back to me spiritually. Material gifts are not necessary as I am so blessed to have what I need already.

I am meditating more regularly on my own as well. I did the Oprah/Deepak Chopra Meditation Challenge and that was awesome. Focus was on belief. The last time I did it was in 2013. So again the parallel between that year and this year.

I haven't done yoga as much lately, but find time when I can and also walking. I know those are key for exercise. I will find a balance for them as I can. I am focusing more on family time and the schedule for my daughter doesn't always allow for me to find that time alone, other than my regular meditation group. I am working on releasing habits that get in the way of these activities also. My sleep has been a big obstacle over my lifetime. I can sleep easily, but stay up too late in general.
I am working on doing better every day. It is a slow process of change, but I have faith I can change my habits for the better. I have had periods of great change and it is just finding the balance and routine to allow all the positive changes over the last couple of years to come together. I know I can do it. I believe I can and it will happen. Each day is a new opportunity for change and growth.

I am connecting more with my angels and guides. The other day I connected and got messages from my guides. I have a main guide, a healer guide and a teacher guide. Each serves a purpose. I felt a strong connection to several Archangels as well. They are so powerful when they come in. The energy is phenomenal. I continue to increase my intuitive visions and senses. It is nice to see that growth and feel the power and guidance that flows in me when I open up to it.

I feel I am listening and following my intuition and guidance. I am opening up to my life purpose more each day. I found a journal entry with a message on that very topic in an old journal and it was so applicable to recent insights. It was amazing. It confirmed my instincts. I am to spread love and light to others and help them to heal (that gift is going to grow and expand more over time).

Love and Peace to all this holiday season.

Two Sides

Flip a coin, choose a side
Black is black, White is white
Dark is dark, Light is light
Bright of day, Shade of night
Fade to Black, Rise to Light
Sun and Shadow play their game
Moon can pierce the darkest sky

Anger and Sadness, 
Love and Joy
Yin and Yang
we need them both
They coexist, 
Inseparable
If one were gone, 
the other would wither
Missing its partner,
one half left alone
carrying the burden all on its own

The eternal balance
is like a dance
back and forth
across space and time
Never ending, 
the cycle continues
The universe performs
its harmonic song

One Circle, One Heart

Three in a

circle of life

Becoming one

heart

One goes away

the other two stay

The circle

becomes

a line

Joining the three

Across the sea

Distance makes the heart grow

fonder

yet lonely

Time slows down

when part of your heart

is away

The wandering third

returns to the fold

At home

at last

to have and to hold

The three join

together

in an embrace

The circle

reunited

The heart

fills with love

All feels right

in the world

When the three

live as one

No matter

the distance

Never to part

Forever one heart

For Damon and Gwen

My circle of love

My heart

Inner Beauty

Deep inside of me
My true self I can see
Standing in a mirror
The image is so clear
She radiates a glow
That someday I will show
As she steps out of the glass
We merge as one at last

Once the child is found
We travel all around
From star to star we fly
No need to question why
It is here that I belong
Where I can sing my song
Floating so high and free
My heart is filled with glee

As we return from our flight
The two are in my sight
Together in the mirror
These parts of me so dear
As I start to say goodbye
A shimmer catches my eye
My inner self is beaming
The light within her is streaming
Her wings are open wide
Stretched out on either side

What a gift to let me see
This wondrous part of me
I know she will always be there
When I need some love and care
I no longer need to hide
This treasure I've kept inside

Fire of Freedom

When it comes time for the darkness to begin burning
Let me light the first match
Let me start the bonfire that frees all our souls
Let it burn, Let it burn, Let it burn

Burn away our burdens
Burn away our fears
Burn away our sadness, loneliness and despair

Let the fire ignite
HOPE in every heart
PEACE across the planet
LOVE everlasting
HAPPINESS for all humanity

Let us join hands around the fire
Singing songs in perfect harmony
Until the last burning ember 
brings the dawn of a bright new day

Let The Light In

Let the light in
Where there was darkness
Let the love flow
Where there was sadness

No more fear there
Deep in the shadows
No longer lost there
With no one to guide us

Take my hand now
We will journey together
Through all the gateways
Spread on our path

Love is our birthright
It is our true calling
Allow it to open
Healing all pain

Nothing can stop us
If we stay together
Living in love here
Deep in our heart

I am blessed to have found you
My long lost treasure
I'll hold you forever
And never let go

9/16/14
Afterword to poem from 9/14/14 (The Treasure Within)
Inspired by a meditation that afternoon

The Treasure Within

The child was hidden
In the darkness deep down
All alone in her sadness
Waiting to be found

No one could see her
Or hear her cries
No one could find her
Even if they tried

So long she waited
Crouched in the dark
No light could enter
Not even a spark

Hoping for light
To brighten her world
Longing for love
To rescue her soul

Finally it happened
A glimmer of light
Searching for something
Hidden out of sight

After all the years
Hiding from the past
She couldn't believe
She'd been rescued at last

She stayed very still
Not knowing what to do
"Could this really be happening?
Could this really be true?"

A voice called out:
"You can come with me,
It is okay now,
You will be free."

She wanted to follow
But was still scared to go,
"Would it all be okay now?
Did the voice really know?"

The light became brighter
She shielded her eyes
The voice coaxed her softly
But she could not yet rise

The voice said "I love you"
And she felt an embrace
She looked up and felt
The light on her face

A hand took her slowly
And they walked away
No longer in darkness
Would she have to stay

She finally realized
Who had come to her aid
It was her own self
No longer afraid

The depths of her sorrow
She could bear at last
To open that door
And let go of the past

They came together
Integrating as one
What a joy, a wonder
Look what she had done!

She said "Thanks for coming
I wasn't so sure
That I'd ever see you
That you'd find the door."

They walked back together
To close the door
No need to go there
Not anymore

She jumped and she skipped
And swung up in the sky
The child could play now
No more need to cry

The two are now healing
Inside the one heart
What God has joined together
Let nothing ever part. 

9/14/14
Inspired by a healing session that united me with my inner child. 

Simple

LOVE is Life
PEACE is Profound
JOY is Juicy
HOPE is Heavenly
SIMPLE is Soulful

Finding the Light

The light shot diamonds from his eyes
Straight into the depths of my heart
Capturing my light to shine back to him
Surrounding us in sparkling synchronicity
Two souls searching for their match
Feeling the rapture of recognition
Finally they have been found

My New Year's Wish

I Wish for All

A Year of Faith
in every dream
through every struggle
along your way

A Year of Hope
in every moment
amazingly rekindled
from all that were dashed

A Year of Love
filling every heart
healing all the pieces
that have ever been broken

A Year of Peace
deep in every soul
spoken in every language
heard far and wide

A Year of Joy
in every step
springing swiftly up
even when you should fall

A Year of Light
sparkling in every eye
so that kindred spirits
recognize their glow

A Year of Wishes
that are all fulfilled
when wished upon a star
or quietly in your heart

A Year of Blessings
each and every day
sprinkling softly through the air
landing safely in your hands

Angel Song

Angels are calling
with songs of love
Sweetly streaming
from heaven above

I see them surround me 
with comforting charm
I feel them wrap me
up in their arms

They are all around us
if we but glance
Helping to guide us
at every glance

Drawn to our love,
our joy and our peace
Their love always flows
and will never cease

They are creatures of Light 
shining brightly for all
There to catch us
if we should fall

Open your eyes
and look very clear
For chances are
an angel is near

Open your ears
and hear their call
For they can help
to save us all.

The Elements

I release to the Earth
all my Fear and pain
My Sadness is removed
and my true self remains

I embrace the Air,
Moon and stars above
I spin in their orbit
which envelops me with Love
I release my Anger
to the red hot Flames
I feel it leave my body
I no longer play its games

The Water washes over me
cleansing my Soul
Refreshing my energy
and making me whole

The Tree stands within me
Powerful and strong
The Elements surround it
I am right where I belong

I feel complete now
The Forces did I see
They brought a Deep Peace
and inner harmony

Knowing

I finally know my path
I walk it every day
Each step that I take
Helps me find my way

I do not walk alone
But with my helpful guides
Always watching over me
Always by my side

Their unwavering love
Helps me when I fall
If I closely listen
I can hear their silent call

As my truth emerges
My faith becomes more strong
Knowing I am guided
To find where I belong

Yoga and Meditation Reflections and Poems

I have been continuing my twice daily yoga and meditation practices as well as my daily walking and I am feeling great. I attended a meditation workshop in California this past weekend. It inspired many poems which I am sharing together here. 

Splendor

I see 
the possibility 
of all that is to come
I smell
the freshness
of a brand new day
I taste
the sweetness
of love in my heart
I feel
the fabric
of my everlasting soul
I hear 
the gong
calling me home

I sense
the awakening
rising from the Earth.
I hope for 
Peace
pouring softly from the sky
I speak
the truths
whispered in my ear
I listen
carefully for
the beating of the drum
The ancient heartbeat
to unite us all
as One


I have 
Faith 
that Prophecies 
will come to pass
I will
Rise
higher than 
the Sun
To be
transformed 
into 
Pureness and Light
To see
my Spirit
in all its 
Splendor
Instead of
through a glass darkly
